The Jersey Maritime Administration published an accident report summarising the investigation that commenced following an allision involving the Jersey registered vessel Njord Forseti on 23rd April 2020.

The incident

The vessels operating records show that on the 23rd April the vessels crew commenced work at 0800 LT. On the 22nd April, the vessel operated for 11 hours 15 minutes, finishing operations at 19:30. On the 21st April the vessel was not in use due to high winds.

Between 20th – 18th April, records indicate that the vessel was not in use for more than 12 hours per day. Subject to the emergence of other evidence to the contrary, it is considered that the vessels programme in the days prior to the accident would have allowed the crew members to obtain sufficient rest prior to taking up their duties on 23rd April.

The ships engineer stated that he was in the wheelhouse for the passage back to Emshaven from the windfarm. He also stated that the vessel had previously experienced a failure of the port engine which had stopped without alarm or warning earlier in the day. To identify possible reasons for this, he was concentrating on the engine data screens located on the starboard side of the wheelhouse to identify any change to machinery parameters that may precede an involuntary shutdown.
